Over the last month, I've been reading The Secret Garden to the girls. I found a great audio version, radio theatre actually, put out by Focus on the Family that I had for them to listen to after we finished reading together.

We haven't finished it yet, but I caved anyway and let them listen to it when we had a long car ride the other day.

Several of the characters in the book speak with a Yorkshire accent, so of course on the theatre version they also do.

It is wonderful how good literature sparks creativity in the imaginations of our children. I commmend you! We recently toured Montpelier and my children were fascinated with the 2acre gardens planted by the DuPont's..unfortunately we didn't allow enough time (with threatening skies)to completely explore them, I just HAD to take a detour into the garden once I heard my child mention that book.

I am a mom to 4 children and wife to a wonderful man. We homeschool all four children, and my days are spent trying to keep up with them all…and the house…and life in general.

My passion is teaching my kids and helping other families in their homeschool journey. Working with children has always
been something I have enjoyed, and I love that the online world has provided a
way to share ideas and resources with other families all over the world. The last few years has brought speaking opportunities at blogging conferences, homeschool groups, and also homeschool conventions.
